  • Publication number: 20230342295
    Abstract: A log generated over a time period of garbage collection cycles of a microservice is reviewed. The log includes garbage collection events and pause times for each event. A determination is made that a threshold number of consecutive garbage collection events has been reached where each consecutive event had a pause time exceeding a threshold pause time. Upon the determination, a change is made to a configuration file associated with the microservice to reduce the pause times for a next time period. Once the microservice enters an idle state, a command is generated to restart the microservice for the change in the configuration file to take effect.
